"Xiaoqiang, this guy, he is getting better and better at chess now, but his luck in guessing first is getting worse and worse. In last year's Three Kingdoms Ring Tournament, he guessed white, but when he arrived at this Ying's Cup, he was black. Don't let this ......"

Reporter Zhang shook his head, as if to drive out the uneasiness in his heart, and then withdrew from the game room with the large army. With the withdrawal of the photojournalist, the tiebreaker match between Li Xiaoqiang and Zhao Zhixun officially began.

At present, the world chess scene still belongs to the era of coexistence of 5 and a half rules and 7 and a half rules. Since different rules coexist, the discussion on this aspect will never be broken. Some people think that sticking one or two more goals doesn't have much impact, and the biggest impact may only be the psychology of the player. However, some people believe that different rules have a huge impact on chess players, especially for players with a certain chess style, and the role of "big stickers" is particularly obvious.

For example, Zhao Zhixun, many people think that with his style of chess, when he gets white chess under the "big sticker" rule, it is like a fish in water.

In Go, one of the main differences between the first moves is that the side that holds the black first is more likely to "take the initiative". So how to use the benefits of the black first to offset the impact of the "big stickers"? The most common view is that the black side must be proactive, must be speedy when playing chess, and if possible, it is best to try to "contiguous" their pieces in the game.

But this is the most common idea, which may not be easy to use when dealing with chess players like Zhao Zhixun, especially top masters like Zhao Zhixun.

In Go, what corresponds to "continuous pieces"? That, of course, is "breaking up". So among the various styles of chess players, which type of chess player is the best at "scattering"? Naturally, there is nothing to say, of course, it is the kind of chess player who is good at "fishing first and then washing". Especially a "fish first and then wash" type chess player like Zhao Zhixun, who has strong computing power and is especially good at treating orphans. It can be said that they are the least afraid of the opponent's "continuous film", and they have the best experience in dealing with this situation. Their talent, their greatest skill, always seems to be able to find the weakness of their opponents in this situation, and then deal the most severe blows.

From the dialectical point of view, contradictions are always opposites and unity. Because I don't worry about the opponent's "continuous film". In fact, this is equivalent to invisibly suppressing the opponent's first advantage. What does it mean if it suppresses the opponent's first move? That means that the two pieces that need to be more pasted are likely to be the key to the outcome of a game.

It should be clear by now, which is why some people joked before the game: today's tiebreaker is likely to be decided by guessing first.

Although this is just a joke, it must be admitted that there is a truth to this statement.

For example, the first game of this trilogy is a good example. Strictly speaking, Li Xiaoqiang's game of chess is not bad, if it is posted with 5 and a half meshes, then it is not known who wins and who loses. It's a pity that it's a 7 and a half meshes. After Zhao Zhixun won the first blow, the huge burden of eye-catching made Li Xiaoqiang never find a chance to turn the tables.

So what will this game of chess look like today? After coming out of the game room, reporter Zhang Da came to the next viewing room with a nervous mood.

"Here again and again, Lao Zhao began to grab the ground again. But I don't understand, isn't Xiaoqiang's chess path known as changeable? Why didn't he know to make some changes today? ”

Today's game was relatively fast, and after more than one hour of the game, the two sides had played nearly 40 moves. Although it seems too early to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the situation. However, the pattern of the whole game has already begun to take shape. Similar to the pattern of the first game, Zhao Zhixun grabbed the ground at the beginning. And today's Li Xiaoqiang seems to have forgotten how he lost the first game. Therefore, at this time, before the noon closure of the game, the typical "terrain confrontation" pattern appeared on the chessboard again.

Of course, reporter Zhang Da's anxiety and worry are justified. Zhao Zhixun's choice is very understandable, and he won the game in the first game with this method, so not to mention that this is a game that people like and are good at, even if he is not good at it. There's no reason to change either. So what about you Li Xiaoqiang, don't you all say "if you lose, you think about change", you have already lost chess in this way, and you also admitted it yourself after the game. In the "big sticker", Lao Zhao's method is quite difficult to deal with. So how can you be so insensitive, so unmotivated, and unaware of the need to seek change?

"Lao Nie, did you say that Xiaoqiang is ...... today?"

Today is the tiebreaker of the semi-finals of the "Ying's Cup", and it is also the first time that the semi-finals have reached this stage in the five world competitions this year. The winner of this game will enter the final of the World Series, so the whole chess academy attaches great importance to this game. From the beginning of the morning game, the viewing room was crowded with chess players and journalists.

"So you say, how should Xiaoqiang change?"

"For example, at the beginning, I also fought with my opponent to fight for the ground or something......"

On the surface, reporter Zhang Da's words seem to be very reasonable, aren't you Zhao Zhixun good at "fishing first and then washing", then why don't I fight for the ground at the beginning, you fish and I fish, that's how I see how you "wash" later?

However, after Nie Whirlwind listened to reporter Zhang Da's words, he shook his head:

"Your words seem to make sense, but it's not necessarily a good idea."

"Why?"

"Because if two people fight for the field at the same time, it is easy to form a situation of small fragmentation......

Nie Whirlwind's words were over, and he didn't continue to explain, but the meaning of his words was still easy to understand by an amateur master like Reporter Zhang Da.

One of the prerequisites for the opening game to fight for the ground is that most of your strength must be "low". If two people fight for the ground at the same time, then the situation on the chessboard is easy to imagine, because both people are vying for the "position of the dropper", then it is easy to appear on the chessboard a large area of "saline-alkali land". If this happens, then the situation of "small fragments" is inevitable.

If this happens, it will be even more disadvantageous for the side that holds the black, because once the situation of "small separation" is formed, it means that neither side has any potential for development.

For white, it doesn't matter if he has development potential or not, he just needs to have a "big sticker". The same is true for black. If the development potential is lost, then the "big stickers" will become an extremely heavy burden. From this point of view, if this is the case, then the consequences may be more serious than being "fished first and then washed".

Left is not good, right is not good, is there no other way for Li Xiaoqiang in this game of chess? Before the noon was closed, Nie Whirlwind finally summarized the morning's chess:

"Anyway. It's going to be a long game. Although we all feel that Xiaoqiang may be a little difficult, but you must know that this is just "feeling" after all, objectively analyzing the current situation, I think the current situation is still two points, and the chess game has been carried out so far, it should be said that white has not gained any advantage. As for how to deal with Zhao Zhixun's "washing gong", we still have to wait until the afternoon to see Xiaoqiang's performance. ”

Faced with this situation, it seems that this is the only way to do it now. 1-hour break at noon. Reporter Zhang Da's hanging heart has never let go.

However, what reporter Zhang Da didn't expect was that after the start of the game in the afternoon, there were no big ups and downs, and there were not even any ups and downs, and his mentality completed a very smooth change.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the game lasted for a total of 3 hours, and the game was played with more than 60 moves.

"It's coming, it's finally coming......"

It was pretty much the same as in Game 1. At this time, Zhao Zhixun began to "wash the air". And Zhao Zhixun's condition looks very good, he seems to have made another good move. His extremely tricky selection of the site attracted the admiration of the research laboratory. Compared with Zhao Zhixun, Li Xiaoqiang's response seems very ordinary, so ordinary that it feels extremely bland.

At this time, reporter Zhang Da's mood was similar to noon, and his heart was still hanging.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the game lasted for 4 hours, and there were more than 90 hands on the board. At this time, Zhang Da's heart was slightly relaxed.

Although Li Xiaoqiang's moves are still bland. Zhao Zhixun didn't seem to play any bad chess, but the comments of the research room:

"Huh? White doesn't seem to have taken advantage of anything during this time. ”

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the two sides fought fiercely for 5 hours, and when the chess game reached more than 130 hands, Zhang Da's reporter had completely let go of his heart.

"The situation...... This situation...... It seems that black chess is relatively easy to play, right? At least black's position is more open......"

5 o'clock in the afternoon. The two sides fought fiercely for 6 hours, when the chess game was about 170 moves, the situation on the chessboard seemed to be relatively clear, Li Xiaoqiang's black chess advantage is undoubted, although this advantage does not seem large, but it is a real advantage.

At this time, reporter Zhang Da not only completely completed the change of mentality, he is now smiling, he has turned into a chatter, and he keeps nagging in the research room:

"Xiaoqiang, this guy, Xiaoqiang, he...... How did he do it......"

yes, how did Li Xiaoqiang do it? At this time, not only did Zhang Da reporter not see it clearly, but many professional chess players on the scene did not know why. But there was one person who seemed to see more clearly. This person is the Korean chess player Yoo Chang-hyuk, who is known as the "No. 1 attacker in the world".

After the match with Mr. Lim Hae-feng, Yoo Chang-hyuk did not return to China immediately, he has been waiting for the birth of his opponent in the final. After witnessing Li Xiaoqiang's performance in this game of chess, Liu Changhe praised in a low voice:

"What a wonderful attack......

That's right, the reason why Li Xiaoqiang can gain an advantage now is, of course, relying on a series of attack techniques. In Go, it's always harder to attack than to defend. Although there are many kinds of attacks in Go, even many top players cannot really grasp the essence of attacks.

What kind of attack method is Li Xiaoqiang using today? Interestingly, when many people at the scene were still unclear, a person far away in Japan said something that broke the ground.

For today's game of chess, the Japanese side also arranged a live TV broadcast, and Yukari Umezawa also happened to participate in the hanging explanation of this game of chess.

At around 5:30 p.m., seeing that the overall situation of this game of chess had been decided, Li Xiaoqiang's victory was only a matter of time. Although Yukari Umezawa was happy in her heart, she still had to show a very regretful look in the face of the camera:

"Oh, Mr. Zhao's game of chess is a pity, so what do you think is the problem?"

Yukari Umezawa asked her partner about this game of chess, and it was Mr. Masaki Takemiya who was talking about chess with her partner.

"This game of chess cannot be said to be bad for Zhixun, it can only be said that China's Li Xiaoqiang played too well. I think it's very normal for Jihoon to lose in this way. ”

"Oh? What are you referring to? ”

"Natural flow! What Li Xiaoqiang uses today is the most standard natural flow! ”

"Natural Flow ......" (To be continued.) )
